08:09 AM ET 05.09 | Perhaps it's for the best that Phil Jackson walk away. Yet, the NBA has changed dramatically for coaches, and this was a message to him: Go to Montana and never look back again. ... Rest assured, the list of suspects to lure Jackson out of retirement will be predictable, but flawed. The New York Knicks? Forget it. For Jackson, the Knicks represent his purest, most cherished memories in pro ball. He thinks of Red Holzman and his magical NBA championship teams with Reed and Frazier, Bradley and DeBusschere. To return there -- to sell Carmelo Anthony on the triangle, to navigate New York's back-stabbing, dysfunctional ownership -- would sully his Madison Square Garden memories.

Dear Phil, we don't hold you accountable for the deplorable actions of Odom and Bynum. Enjoy the fishing in Alaska.

Kobe came to play... the rest came and got their heads handed to them.
I genuinely felt for Laker fans after the Bynum/Odum crap - they didn't deserve that.

I'm kind of curious what punishment the league will hand down to Bynum.

Nope... he's done and he seems the type of guy that can turn his back and walk away without any reconsideration.

I think he started off ready to play but then soon realized the Mavs were a better team....I mean he only had 4 points the last 3 quarters of the game...
Their defense was garbage. I couldnt even count how many times Peja and Terry just got flat out open looks at the three...Those are like free throws when you are that wide open...And all of that was caused by Dirk drawing so much attention...

He did have a pensive look on his face when he walked off the court. His post conference was pretty funny... especially the nut-job at the very end.

Ill say a two to five game suspension? and a $50,000 fine....But it should be more like 10 games and $100,000...I mean this is the second time he has done it and almost severely hurt someone(Beasley)

Gotta love "1920's Reporter Guy"... he is a Dallas institution.

Do you think he made a statement when he took his jersey off immediately after the blow? Such as: "I don't want to be here anymore... I don't want to be a Laker."

Seems like anyone named "Phil" enjoys it.
The one with Mickelson is greatness...
